2. Turn on the Model 6517B and allow it to warm up for at least two hours before making
measurements.
3. Restore the Model 6517B to factory default settings using the procedure described in the topic
Considerations
(on page 16-3).
4. Select the amps function and the 20 pA range on the Model 6517B. Refer to
Amps configuration
(on page 4-12) for more information.
5. With zero check enabled, press
REL
to turn on the zero correct function.
6. Set the calibrator to 0.0 V, and then turn off zero check. Allow the reading to stabilize completely
before continuing.
7. Press
REL
to enable the Model 6517B REL function.
8. Using the formula:
V =I R
calculate the actual calibrator voltage to achieve the desired current using the known value of the
precision resistors. Record the calibrator voltage.
9. Set the calibrator to the actual voltage. See the calibrator documentation for detailed instructions.
10. Make sure the calibrator is in operate.
11. Allow the reading to settle completely, and note the reading on the Model 6517B. Verify that the
reading is within the limits specified in the table below.
12. Reverse the calibrator polarity, and verify the magnitude of the current reading is within the limits.
13. Turn zero-check on.
14. Repeat steps 4 through 13 for the 200 pA to 2 µA ranges using the appropriate DC voltage and
standard resistor listed in the table below.
